Four of the best countryside hotels in Herefordshire

The region has several country hotels where you can enjoy the picturesque scenery from a beautiful vantage point.

Here are four of the best countryside hotels in Herefordshire.

The Priory Hotel, Stretton Sugwas

Set in three acres of landscaped gardens just outside Hereford, The Priory Hotel is a former rectory that has been transformed into a relaxed country house hotel with a strong sense of homely comfort.

The Grade II-listed building retains many period features, including original fireplaces and oak panelling, while the 19 individually styled bedrooms blend traditional décor with modern amenities such as free Wi‑Fi and flat-screen TVs.

Guests can dine in the oak-beamed restaurant, which focuses on seasonal British fare using local Herefordshire produce, or enjoy drinks on the terrace overlooking the gardens.

Glewstone Court Hotel, Glewstone

Perched on a hillside above the Wye Valley, Glewstone Court Hotel offers sweeping views across one of Herefordshire’s most scenic landscapes.

This Victorian country house combines classic charm with contemporary comfort: its 30 bedrooms range from traditional doubles to spacious suites, many with valley views, and are furnished with a mix of antique and modern pieces.

The hotel’s restaurant has earned a reputation for fine dining, serving modern British cuisine with an emphasis on local ingredients, while the leisure club includes a swimming pool, sauna, and treatment rooms for post-walk pampering.

Burton Court, Eardisland

Burton Court is a striking 14th-century manor house in the heart of the Black and White Village area, offering a stay steeped in history and surrounded by meticulously kept gardens.

The property features elegant guest rooms furnished with antiques, fine linens, and large windows overlooking the countryside, creating a refined yet comfortable atmosphere.

With its tranquil setting, Burton Court is particularly appealing to those seeking a quiet, upscale retreat with easy access to historic villages, walking routes, and the Malvern Hills.

Bridge House, Ross-on-Wye

For a more intimate, family-run country hotel experience, Bridge House in Ross-on-Wye sits directly on the banks of the River Wye, just a short walk from the town centre.

The eight-bedroom property combines Georgian elegance with cosy, country-house charm: rooms are tastefully decorated, some with four-poster beds and roll-top baths, and many offer river or garden views.

A walled garden with an honesty bar provides a peaceful spot for evening drinks, while the hotel’s riverside location makes it a favourite with walkers, water enthusiasts, and those looking to explore the Wye Valley, Forest of Dean, and nearby attractions such as Goodrich Castle.
